Welcome to Stretchlab Ridgefield

'm Larissa! I I have my Bachelors in Exercise Science, and I've been a certified personal trainer for over 2 years. I joined the Stretch Lab team earlier this year and it's been an amazing place to work. My favorite thing about Stretch Lab is seeing how the members feel after their stretch and hearing how their quality of life has gotten better after being consistent with their stretches. In my free time outside of work, I enjoy playing with my dogs Taffy and Sleepy!

My name is Madeline and I am a professional dancer with a BFA in commercial dance. I recently moved to CT from NYC and began my training with StretchLab shortly after. I’ve found a passion for stretching properly and have loved getting to teach others the same thing! I also teach ballet to middle/highschool students and in my free time I like to spend it hiking and being outside with my dog and fiancé. I look forward to stretching with you all!

Hi! My name is Daiane Lisi and I am so excited to be apart of this team! I come from my beautiful Country, Brasil, where I have always had a passion for physical therapy and healing. I studied and practiced PT in Brasil for 5 years where I earned my degree. I currently have 2 years of experience as a Physical Therapy Aide and I am continuing my education here in the US with the support of my husband and our two little dachshunds “Spaghetti” and “Chino”. I love doing any outdoor activity such as hiking, stand up paddle boarding, or even just staying home playing dominos with my family. I understand that life has many limitations, but I believe that our bodies shouldn’t be one of those limitations. I believe that we all need to take care of our bodies to maintain physical, mental balance and awareness. What I love about StretchLab is the calming yet cheerful energy to achieve exactly that. Whether you consider yourself an athlete or not, I am here to help you move through your life at your own pace.
